Meanwhile, Governor Buni declared that the ruling APC would have disintegrated if not for his team's leadership.
According to Buni who is the chairman of the Caretaker/ Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the party, when he took over the party's leadership, it was enmeshed in civil war.
He said this in an address at the first APC National Youth Conference with the theme: ‘The Future Is A Decision’, which was held at the International Conference Center, Abuja.
Going further, the chairman noted that the future of the APC belongs to the youths and the party will do everything to carry them along.
